A Letter

Last week, as I was leading my excessively boring life, a strange thing happened.I got a letter, sent snail mail.I don’t think I’d gotten one of those in years….

Here goes:

Patti,

I hope this note finds you well.I just got back from (my college).I went camping with my friends.We rode around town on Saturday and I saw some old houses and thought of some old friends.One of them was you.I remember you and how sweet you were to me.I just wanted you to know.

When I got home, I looked up your name in the FSU Alumni Directory and wrote you this note.I hope it finds its’ way to you!

Allen N

You can write back if you like.

I showed the letter to Mr. Wonderful and we had this conversation:

Mr. W - “Did everyone have a crush on you back then”?

Me - “I looked a lot better 30 years ago, before the news industry made me fat and cynical.”

Then the Red Socks did something and he lost interest.No advice there.

I have the vaguest memory of who this person might be.I have no idea how or if to respond.
